96 gt question

Hi, my sister just got a 96 mustang gt for her 16th b-day. It only has 40k miles on it. I pulled up a carfax on it, says its been in 2 minor accidents. The cars performance doesnt seem as good as I would think. It runs great and smooth; shifts fine... I've driven a 05 v6 stang and i think the 05 would beat it. I drive a 99 trans am. I already know my car can beat her 4.6. I havnt raced it yet, but i've driven it. When I floor it, it gets up and goes, but it still seems way way to slow. My T/A goes that fast without touching the gas. Just wondering what the HP is on it and the q mile times. Thanks

those early 4.6 motors only have like 225hp, or that one may have 215.

yea 05 v6's r just is fast if not faster then 94-98 gt's. stock hp is 215 and stock 1/4 mile times r about 15 flat for 5 speeds and high 15's for auto's

those early 4.6 motors only have like 225hp, or that one may have 215. 94-97's have 215 and 98's have 225

wow thats depressin'! hmm well ok, i guess her car is running good, just slower than i thought it would be. I'll stick to my t/a... thanks alot guys!

well i can tell you one thing that i think will make a big difference is just get some new heads, the ones on it suck ass, the 99-04 gt's make more hp and a large part of it is the heads, they have PI heads, which stand for performance improved.

He just wanted to gloat that his T/A was faster than that crappy year Mustang his sister bought.

naa, i love mustangs... i would trade my t/a for a nice svt any day. i was just looking forward to drivin her car thinking it would be faster... thx for the help guys

Ya, those years are really down on power.

Like what was mentioned, heads and intake will really wake it up. Keep the 99 T/A, very sharp auto.
